Sam Harris - great at trainings, so what's up?

Isn't Creek our 10 man dev/certain age guy (injured) so they bring in Daly as our 10 man dev/certain age guy.

Harris is to old to be the dev/certain age guy?
So his only chance of being in the 10 is being the 9 man (or higher if he is THAT good).

Keep him as 11th man bring him in for injuries (barring the young player) and put alot of focus and work into him in the background, prepare for next season.

Yeah maybe, but I kinda like Hinder. He's got the look of the sort of guy you don't want to meet in a dark alley.

I agree Sam does need to work on speed and strength but I would definitely pencil him in for the future. Well done to Daly for the 10 spot, would have been a close decision between Tom and Hooley, both promising lads.

Boti's recent article had this to say about Harris:

http://linky.com.au/85shs

"Sam Harris, the team's 221cm work-in-progress - who was a member of Perth's roster last season - was not genuinely an option.

"Sammy was brought in with the idea he wouldn't be part of the picture until next year," Clarke said.

"He needs a good nine-month pre-season to get his foot-speed, strength and agility to where it needs to be. He's tried to be a player and hasn't paid attention to those things. This is probably his last chance to become a player."

Clarke's said he preferred not to compromise on his plan for Harris by taking a gamble against Perth for a short-term fix."

I feel the big area he needs to work on is his running key to key.

Second area is a bit of aggression wouldn't hurt. If he had Hinder's attitude and Ninja's pace, then he would be NBA material.

Not sure if he has improved considerably, but when he was at Perth he really struggled. He is to soft, slow and struggles to catch a good pass. I would love to see him out there, but in the games I watched of him, he looked horrible :S

Anon, what kind of competition did he have though? sounded like when he suited up for the warm up games he kept getting the ball stripped off of him and it was obvious he was still an amateur. This is from what i have heard/read i personally havent seen him play. If he was surely ready for the NBL marty would play him.

So imagine how much better he will be when he has a season of development training with the squad! Marty just wants to work on a couple of things before he is inleashed.
